Steps to reproduce:
1. Create new task
2. Click on 'Dates' icon
3. Check the Due Date check box
4. Change the value of the Due Date without using the calender.
I'm running Task Coach on Ubuntu 9.04 with the standard WxPython library and the sources are pulled from the Trunk, Revision 2472.
Sorry, forgot to add that the date the user enters is ignored and it defaults to the current day.
I think this is related to https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2867623&group_id=130831&atid=719134.
We could reproduce the bug you reported. We'll do our best to fix it as soon as possible.
Thanks, Task Coach development team
I think you are correct, it is similar or a duplicate of 2867623. After more testing I found that this bug is not just on task creation. Even during editing a task, the due date field is ignored unless the calendar is used.
